Did you see us on CNN?

Apparently, we were on CNN today!! We don't have TV here, so I didn't see it, but did see it on their website - for a while we were right on the main page!! WOO HOO!!!! A while ago they asked readers to sum up their year in 30 seconds, so we put together a photo montage of us cycling from Mexico to Ecuador and sent it in. Now, they took about 5 or 6 of those from around the world and put them together and are using it in their end-of-year coverage - and we are the very first segment!!!

I don't know if they will play it again on air or not, but it's still on their website. You can see it here!

It just seems too bizarre that we would be on CNN! Wish we got CNN here so I could see it!

Thanks! I'm still shaking my head and wondering if it was really true.

We had some music in there, but they changed it to their own. Not that it's a problem - we made hte video in about 30 minutes and just threw some music in! If we had had more time, we would have come up with something creative.

Not sure about the famous part - but it was pretty cool to be on such a major network!
